Registered Massage Therapy

Massage Therapy involves a range of manual techniques applied to the soft tissues and joints of the body. The purpose of Registered Massage Therapy at Emkiro is to relieve pain, and maintain, rehabilitate and improve physical function. It is a clinically oriented health option that achieves excellent results for discomforts stemming from stress, muscular overuse and many chronic pain syndromes.

Usually Massage Therapy is pain-free, however there may be some discomfort or soreness during or after a treatment if a muscle is inflamed and/or strained. If there are any conditions that the Massage Therapist deems more serious and/or could benefit from other treatments, Emkiro’s integrated clinic allows for efficient case management in-house for referral to any of our other health care services, (ie. Medical care, Chiropractic care, Acupuncture or Active Release Techniques®), usually on the same day.

We offer 30 minute, 45 minute, 60 minute and 90 minute Massage Therapy appointments. This time allotted is for the entire time booked with the therapist, including any patient preparation or assessment. It is important that the patient show up on time for every appointment for maximum therapy time.

Some insurance companies may require a note from a physician and/or chiropractor explaining why massage has been recommended. It is recommended that patients check with their insurance, and if needed they can make a medical walk-in appointment at Emkiro for a physician’s assessment and referral, usually on the same day.
